Explore Talent, a premier online social-network for talented individuals in the entertainment industry, announced a new blog on their news site today, titled, "'Journey's' Neal Schon and 'Real Housewives of D.C.' Michaele Salahi Sued by Her Ex." The blog on ExploreTalent, (http://news.exploretalent.com/journeys-neal-schon-and-real-housewives-of-d-c-michaele-salahi-sued-by-her-ex/) details that Michaele Salahi of Real Housewives of D.C. can't seem to get away from her ex, Tareq Salahi, according to E! News (2/15/2012). After leaving him for Jorney's Neal Schon, the new couple were both faced with a lawsuit, according to E! News (2/15/2012). Tareq Salahi served Michaele and Neal with a $50 million lawsuit because he believes he lost out on lots of cash due to their split, according to E! News (2/15/2012).

Although Bravo had announced that the reality show, Real Housewives of D.C., in which both Salahis appeared as a married couple, will not be renewed for any more seasons, Tareq claims that the couple was supposed to appear on Australia's Dancing With the Stars, according to E! News (2/15/2012).

Tareq explained that, in his view, his marriage was not a regular marriage, but almost a brand, which made him money, according to E! News (2/15/2012).

As explained in the suite Tareq filed, according to E! News (2/15/2012), "Through their concerted efforts [they] held themselves out as not just Husband and Wife but as business partners and further, a brand. They wrote a book together, made countless appearances together and were essentially inseparable in both their personal and business lives."

But why is Journey's Neal Schon also being sued by Tareq? That is also explained in the suit.

"Rather than being satisfied with stealing his wife, Neal Schon intentionally and maliciously began a public campaign to demoralize, embarrass and defame [Tareq] by publicly demonstrating that he could better provide material items for his wife," according to E! News (2/15/2012)
